Nice slow day. The kind you feel you have all the time in the world. :)

I woke up especially early at 10.30am for my 11am piano lesson after being away for 1 month. Teacher is now preparing me for my theory exam in March... So it's all plain boring stuff.

She taught me for half an hour more today, I could see that she was trying to complete as much as possible since I have a lot more to catch up. I think I'm too chill..... I need some sense of urgency haha.


My day was otherwise spent mostly in my room practising/playing my instruments... And idling away while trying to do some theory papers... Days like that hardly come by and I really like it. :)

School is starting next week. It will last for about 16 weeks? Followed by a 6-week attachment.


I am dreading it and it's easy to know why...

It is energy-consuming and at the end of it all, produces so little outcome. In this span of 3 months, we have to cram in 5 modules. This is quantity over quality. That's probably the reason why a lot of us don't remember the things we studied... Because we're only doing so for the _____ sake of exams?

Would you choose a module which is easy to score, lest you lose out to your peers, or one which you are geniunely interested in?

Or worse, choose something you have already learnt previously in whichever school you came from. -_-

Is everyone just going through the motion?



I always feel I have better things to do when I am in school.

That being said, it could jolly well just be me and my bad attitude. Haaaahaa.




On the other hand, I am comtemplating whether to return to NUSSO (Symphony Orchestra)???

Pros
1) Maaaannnnyyyy more instruments to play with
2) Will definitely stretch my capacity due to the difficulty level (Then I'll probably feel bad about myself or rather my skills)
3) Convenience. It's in school!

Cons

1) Refer to 2. It's a tough mental battle...
2) Practise day and time clash with my church orchestra's... And already there're barely 3 cellists.


Shall see...
